My Old Fr[Am]iend, I re[Em]call
the tim[F]es we h[C]ad han[Dm]gin' on my w[G]all
I wouldn't tra[Am]de them for go[Em]ld.
they lau[F]gh and they c[C]ry me, som[F]ehow sancti[C]fy me,
they're wo[F]ven in the sto[C]ries I have to[Dm]ld, and tell aga[G]in
(verse 2)
My old fri[Am]end I apolog[Em]ize
For the ye[F]ars that have pas[C]sed since the la[Dm]st time you and [G]I
Dusted of[Am]f those memo[E]ries
the ru[F]nning and the ra[C]ces, the peo[F]ple and the pla[G]ces
there was alw[F]ays somewhere el[C]se I had to b[G]e, and time gets th[G]in
My old fri[Am]end

My old fri[Am]end, this song's for yo[Em]u
'Cause a fe[F]w simple ver[C]ses is the le[Dm]ast that I could do[G]
To tell the wo[Am]rld you were he[Em]re
'Cause the lo[F]ve and the laugh[C]ter will li[F]ve on long afte[G]r
A[F]ll of the sad[C]ness and the tea[G]rs.
We'll meet a[G]gain, my old frie[Am]nd.

Good[F]bye, goo[C]dbye
